Exposing the Four Horsemen
“I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!” And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer. When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!” Another came out, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword. When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand. I heard a voice in the middle of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!” When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.” (Revelation 6:1-8 WEB)
In this world there are demons wreaking havoc, but the major calamities that affect the whole world are set in motion by the four horsemen that apostle John saw in his vision.
They are evil spirits that were released when Jesus unsealed the title deed to the earth, after His resurrection.
The one on the white horse causes religious deception. He appears like Jesus who will return on a white horse at His Second Coming. This horseman raises false Messiahs and an apostate church.
We see this horseman at work in the heretical sects that closely imitate Christianity but are actually leading multitudes to damnation.
Jesus warned of this horseman when He said that many would come in His name and pretend to be Him.
The one on the red horse ignites wars. In recent times we see tensions, fightings in the Middle East and the relationship between big world powers treading on thin ice.
Jesus warned of this horseman when He said there would be wars and rumors of wars, as well as nation rising against nation.
The one on the black horse causes famine and economic chaos. Economic hyperinflation, depressions and starvation are instigated by this horseman.
The prices for the wheat and barley in the passage are highly inflated, showing us that this horseman causes economic chaos.
When you see major stock market crashes or crises related to natural resources, this horseman’s surely got a hand in it.
Jesus warned of this when He said there would be famines.
Finally we have the one on the pale horse called Death. Death has the authority to kill in various ways, and the way I haven’t mentioned yet is natural disasters, plagues and pestilence, such as the bushfires in Australia, volcanic eruption in Philippines an the coronavirus that emerged from Wuhan in China.
Jesus warned of Death when He said plagues and earthquakes would happen.
“Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places. But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.” (Matthew 24:4-8 WEB)
These four horsemen work closely with Hades, who is the evil spirit who rules Hell. Their collective goal before the Tribulation is to cause destruction on earth and drag as many souls down to Hell as possible.
In these end times, those villains are rampaging more intensely than ever before.
The solution is in the passage above. The four living creatures before God’s throne invite us to “Come and see”.
When we see this truth in God’s word, the four horsemen and their nefarious activities can’t remain hidden.
When you know that these are some of the major culprits behind the world’s calamities, you will know what to pray against.
God never shows us something without inviting us to pray about it. Through prayer, we become fellow workers with Him, to make earth as it is in Heaven.
Let’s pray together: “In Jesus’ name and by His blood, we bind the four horsemen and declare them powerless to continue their evil activities. We loose God’s power to restore all the victims. Let life and life more abundantly be poured out upon this earth. When sin abounded through the four horsemen, we declare superabounding grace for a massive harvest of souls for God’s kingdom worldwide. We pray this together in Jesus’ name, Amen!”

The four living creatures have faces that correspond to the four aspects of Jesus revealed in the four gospels.
In my new book “Messiah’s Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on every one of Jesus’ 37 recorded miracles in the four gospels.
I believe that as you see Jesus working miracles in the four gospels, unveiling God’s heart of love, goodness and mercy towards man, you will also receive faith to see miracles in every area of your life!
